  • Ice

Method
 

  1. Add the egg white, lemon juice, simple syrup, Campari, and rosemary sprig to a cocktail shaker.
    A clear glass cocktail shaker is shown with all ingredients being added: egg white, freshly squeezed lemon juice, rich simple syrup, vibrant red Campari, and a halved sprig of fresh rosemary. The shaker sits atop a white marble countertop. Around the shaker, you can see supporting ingredients like a whole lemon, a bottle of Campari, and a small bowl of syrup, creating a clean, professional mise en place scene.
  2. Dry shake (shake without ice) for about 10 seconds to combine ingredients.
    A pair of hands is dry shaking a glass cocktail shaker containing egg white, lemon juice, simple syrup, Campari, and rosemary, without ice. The shaker is set over a white marble countertop, creating a clean and minimalistic scene. Nearby ingredients are arranged in a tidy manner, emphasizing the cocktail’s aromatics and creamy texture developing during the dry shake process.
  3. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for another 10-15 seconds.
    Ice cubes are being added to a glass cocktail shaker that already contains the mixed ingredients: egg white, lemon juice, simple syrup, Campari, and rosemary. The shaker is positioned on a pristine white marble countertop. The supporting tools, such as a jigger and bowl of ice, enhance the visual clarity of this critical step, preparing the drink for its final blend.
  4. Strain the mixture into a glass.
  5. Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig and enjoy immediately.
